Agrobacterium infects plants and causes them to form tumors. You determine that tumor formation requires a large amount of the p

lant's energy for tissue formation. How might this change the number of offspring a plant produces, and what is the most likely explanation for this change?

Answer:

<em>Agrobacterium</em> <em>tumefaciens</em> is a gram negative bacteria that is responsible for tumor formation in the different parts of plant body.

Explanation:

It causes crown-gall disease in plant body by transferring it's DNA into the plant body which include Ti plasmid.

There are 3 types of bacteria that form tumor in different plant ares.

<em>Agrobacterium rhizogenes</em>,<em> Agrobacterium tumefaciens</em> strains contain either Ti or Ri plasmid but <em>Agrobacterium vitis</em> contain only Ti plasmid   which are virulent.

The transfer of T-DNA takes place into the body of host cells and then the DNA is expressed into the body of the host and thus forming gall or tumor.

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

C. After about 90 seconds of intense exercise, the muscles become depleted of oxygen, and anaerobic respiration can no longer function to produce ATP, resulting in "oxygen debt."

Explanation:

There are two sources of carbohydrates in the human's body for energy (ATP) production. 1) Creatine phosphate and 2) Glycogen. Creatine phosphate metabolizes easily and yields ATP quickly. Whereas glycogen is stored form of carbohydrate which yields energy more slowly. Therefore, initially, our bodies use creatine phosphate and then shift to glycogen. Within 60-90 seconds, the creatinine phosphate in the body is mostly utilized and then energy is produced by the use of glycogen in aerobic pathway. During areobic pathway, oxygen supply is sufficient and per cycle, it produces 32 molecules of ATP. However, when oxygen supply is limited or absent, the body will metabolize glycogen to lactic acid via fermentation and produce only 2 molecules of ATP.

Now consider the example: Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace therefore the supply of oxygen is sufficient for aerobic cellular respiration for ATP production. In this scenario, the oxygen debt is minimal and Kenny relies on aerobic respiration pathway to obtain energy. On the other hand, Janelle runs fast (100 meters in 13.5 seconds) and her cellular respiration would be on the compense of aerobic pathway initially which will be shifted to anaerobic pathway after the supply of oxygen is reduced/minimum. Janelle will heavily rely on the anaerobic pathway because running fast needs energy which cannot be provided via aerobic pathway easily. Therefore, Janelle's body will produce lactic acid and suffer from oxygen debt.
